[Sorry to spam you, but I got the URL wrong. Darn!]
Many of you will know that Paul Hudak, John Hughes, Phil Wadler and I have been working on a paper called
A History of Haskell: being lazy with class
which will appear at this year's ACM SIGPLAN History of Programming Languages Conference (HOPL-III) San Diego, California, June 9-10, 2007.
It's finally done! You can get a copy here:

We warmly thank all those of you who helped us get it done; I hope we remembered you all in the acknowledgements! (If not, let us know.)
It's in copy-editing now, so if you spot typos, please drop us a line.
